“Alright, as long as grandmother likes it, I’ll go make it for grandmother. However, grandmother, you have to be obedient and sit here quietly while you wait for me. ” After receiving an affirmative answer from Madam Qi, Gu Qingxue stood up and left the main hall, walking towards the small kitchen in the backyard.
When Nanny Sheng saw Gu Qingxue leave, she instructed the maids to take good care of Madam Qi and quickened her pace to catch up.
“Eldest Miss.’
When Gu Qingxue heard Nanny Shengs voice behind her, she turned around and saw granny Sheng catch up to her. “Nanny, the thousand layer cake is not difficult to make, I can handle it by myself.”
Nanny Sheng shook her head after hearing this. She looked at Gu Qingxue with a serious expression. “This old servant did not come over for the matter of the pastries. Eldest Miss, regarding the poison in the Old Madam’s body, this old servant has some things to tell you in private.”
Gu Qingxue looked around to make sure that no one was around, then took Mama Shengs hand and led her to the small kitchen.
After chasing away all the chefs in the kitchen, Gu Qingxue closed the door and pulled granny Sheng to the stove. “Nanny, what’s the matter?”
Nanny Sheng lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear. “Eldest Miss, you’ve been busy recently. This old servant has also followed your request and given the Old Madam her medicine on time. However, this old servant has discovered that Old Madam’s condition has not continued to improve, and there are even some signs of it getting worse.”
Gu Qingxue’s beautiful brows furrowed together. “How did you find out?”
“In fact, this old servant can’t be sure. However, when the Old Madam took her medicine on time, her condition improved every day. Not only was she not as drowsy as before, but she even had some actions that normal people should have. However, recently, the old lady had started to become more drowsy than before. Not only that, but her memory had also shown signs of deterioration. For example, she had just eaten some snacks an hour ago, and she would want to eat them again an hour later. Even though the Old Madam likes to eat, she also knows how to control herself. Adding on to the fact that she sometimes forgets how to wear clothes and forgets if she has slept, this old servant feels that Old Madam’s illness might be even more serious than before.” At the end of the sentence, Nanny Sheng sniffed helplessly and started to sob. “These are the small details. Plus, you’ve told me not to tell anyone about the Old Madam’s poisoning, so I can’t discuss it with anyone else…”
Gu Qingxue reached out and patted Nanny Shengs back gently. She comforted her softly, “l understand. It is all thanks to you that 1 was able to discover grandmother’s minute changes. If you did not tell me, I would not have discovered it.’
Nanny Sheng rubbed her reddened eyes and looked at Gu Qingxue expectantly. “Eldest Miss, is this old servant really not overthinking? The other maidservants who served the Old Madam with this old servant did not notice anything strange about the Old Madam.”
“For grandmother, any small detail will be the key to the treatment. We can’t be careless.” Gu Qingxue looked at Nanny Sheng and asked cautiously, “Nanny, I haven’t been at home recently. I don’t know about grandmother’s condition. In your opinion, is it possible that someone found an opportunity to continue poisoning grandmother? ‘
Nanny Sheng pursed her lips and thought for a moment, before shaking her head. “Ever since I found out that Old Madam was poisoned, this old servant became even more careful. I was afraid that my carelessness would hurt the
Old Madam. I did everything myself and did not dare to make any mistakes..”
